Please help defend Washington Crossing by stopping the proposed zoning variance required to expand the “community shopping center” on General Washington Memorial Blvd/Route 532. The proposed new Dunkin Donuts Quick Service Restaurant and new “7-Eleven like Convenience Store” will alter the essential character of the neighborhood and be detrimental to the public welfare. The proposed property does not meet the minimum 4 acres required by our zoning for a shopping center and will not provide the required buffering, landscaping, parking or safe delivery access required for a shopping center in Washington Crossing. Our zoning laws should be defended and should not be broken for a shopping center.

I spent this morning walking the site and it is harder than ever to imagine heavy delivery trucks navigating those narrow lanes. The feedback I hear from neighbors confirms that we are not alone in wanting to protect the character of this historic area.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that our neighbors refuse to let our local character be dismantled for a parking lot. I am overwhelmed by the groundswell of people who care about protecting the heart of Washington Crossing as much as I do.

Enough is enough. Why can they just ignore the 4 acre rule? Laws are for everyone not just developers.
KEEP THE CHARACTER OF OUR TOWN. NO MORE CHAIN STORES RUINING THE AREA.
We dont need more traffic on 532. It is already a nightmare during rush hour and this will just make it worse.
Our community is quiet and historic and we want to keep it that way. stop building trash.
this is a terrible idea for the intersection. nobody asked for another donut shop here.

I can understand corporations striving to generate profits but if one more store is needed - as it always is with corporations - there are likely dozens of more environmentally and community-friendly locations than in peaceful communities such as WC.
